Abstract: In an image forming machine, density data of small pixels in an objective pixel determined according to density of pixels adjoining the objective pixels, the objective pixel determines a recording position for each color based on density distribution of the adjoining pixels when the recording position of each color is modulated in the primary scanning direction and secondary scanning direction based on density distribution of both the objective pixel and the adjoining pixels. Further, there are provided an image discriminator for image judgment on the objective pixel and a modulator for modulating a recording position using a reference wave with a long cycle when an image is judged to be a halftone image area under a reference wave with a short cycle when an image is judged to be a character image area.

Title: Analogs of botanic seed
Inventor: CARLSON WILLIAM C
IPC: A01C1/00
Filed: 1991-10-24
Abstract: A manufactured seed is disclosed which comprises a plant embryo preferably encapsulated, or at least in contact with, a hydrated oxygenated gel. The gel can be oxygenated by passing oxygen gas through a gel solution before curing the gel or by exposing the gel to oxygen gas after curing. The gel is preferably oxygenated by adding to an uncured gel solution a suitably stabilized emulsion of a perfluorocarbon compound or a silicone oil, which compounds are capable of absorbing large amounts of oxygen, and are non-toxic and inert. The seed analog can further comprise an outer shell at least partially surrounding the gel and embryo, thereby forming a capsule. The outer shell preferably is shaped to aid the radical of a germinating embryo in protrusively rupturing the capsule, thereby facilitating successful germination and minimizing incidence of seedling malformation. Other shell materials are selected to provide requisite rigidity to the capsule while imparting minimal restriction to successful germination. In a preferred embodiment for germinating embryos having cotyledon(s), at least the cotyledons are enclosed in a porous material resistant to penetration by the growing cotyledon(s), and the embryo and porous enclosure are encapsulated in a hydrated gel.

Abstract: Capteur (12), système et procédé servant à déterminer les différentes caractéristiques de l'axe des z d'une feuille (14) en mesurant l'épaisseur d'une feuille de matériau (14) qui se déplace sous une multiplicité de pressions. L'invention consiste à utiliser un calibre d'épaisseur (10) et un ensemble de transducteurs de pression (non représentés) pouvant mesurer l'épaisseur ainsi que les pressions exercées sur la feuille (14) et émettre des signaux indiquant cette épaisseur et ces pressions. Les signaux sont ensuite numérisés par un convertisseur analogique-numérique (non représenté) et envoyés à un ordinateur (30). L'ordinateur (30) utilise les données de compressibilité pour produire une représentation graphique de la déformation-contrainte de compression, dans laquelle l'inclinaison de la courbe dans la région de la courbe est définie comme étant le module d'élasticité sous compression, qui peut être corrélé de façon empirique au module d'élasticité en traction pour différentes catégories de papier. Le module d'élasticité en traction peut ensuite être utilisé dans de différentes formules pour déterminer d'autres caractéristiques physiques de l'axe des z de la feuille, telles que la résistance à la rupture par traction, la rigidité en extension et l'adhérence de Scott.

Abstract: Procédé et appareil d'imagerie par électrophorèse sur gel, le procédé consistant à utiliser deux plaques transparentes fixées ensemble de façon à définir entre elles au moins un chemin pour un gel électrophorétique dont l'épaisseur ou la profondeur peut être comprise entre 25 et 250 micromètres, étant généralement de l'ordre de 50 micromètres (ou, en d'autres termes, se situant dans une plage comprise entre 25 et 100 micromètres). Selon un mode de réalisation, les deux plaques définissent une multiplicité de chemins parallèles, dont chacun représente une largeur de l'ordre de 200 micromètres. On produit ces chemins en creusant l'une des plaques de façon à y pratiquer des fentes de section rectangulaire. Il est ainsi possible de réduire la durée d'écoulement de gel à une durée de 20 à 30 minutes, alors que la durée normale est de 3 à 5 heures.

Abstract: An artificial joint designed in particular to replace human joints, consisting of at least two joint sections (21, 22) with mutually movable spherical functional surfaces. The ratios of curvature of the functional surfaces (23, 24) with a circular cutting contour are convex-convex, convex-concave or concave-concave and the joint geometry is determined by a joint chain with two joint axes which run through the centres of rotation M1? and M2? of the functional surfaces with the radii R1? and R2?. R1? is the radius of the circular cutting contour of the functional surface with the centre point M1? and R2? is that of the circular cutting contour of the functional surface with the centre point M2?. Between the two functional surfaces (23, 24) of the joint sections (21, 22) there is a compression distribution component (25) whose sliding surfaces (26, 27) bearing on the functional surfaces have a curvature matched to one of the functional surfaces, the sliding surfaces (26, 27) of the compression distribution component (25) being of approximately the same size.

Abstract: Operating parameters are changed in a program-controlled electrical device (e.g. DUE1) by an operating device (PC), which can be connected to a separate interface of this electrical device, under control of an operating routine which can be activated as a background routine in the electrical device. A communication is effected between the electrical device and the operating device, in such a manner that initially a data block containing all operating parameters is transferred to the operating device whilst the electrical device is operating, such a data block containing a marking information indicating a change release or change inhibit for each of the operating parameters. After at least one of the operating parameters has been changed, the operating device transmits a data block corresponding to the previously received data block, section by section, to the electrical device for changing the operating parameters previously stored in the latter. Each section of the relevant data block is acknowledged separately by the electrical device in accordance with a so-called handshaking principle. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An arbitrary wave forming circuit produces signals of arbitrary waveforms (sine, triangular or trapezoidal waves) and arbitrary frequencies. A random access memory (121) stores wave formation information on the waveform. According to the wave formation information stored in the memory (121), the updating or keeping of a digital value in an increment/decrement circuit (123) is controlled and the digital value is digital/analog-converted by a digital/analog conversion circuit (124), which is controlled by a digital value control means that includes the increment/decrement circuit (123). By writing appropriate wave formation information into the memory (121), it is possible to produce signals of desired waveforms.

Abstract: A dental implant comprises an implant body (2) for anchorage in the jaw and a superstructure member (14) which can at least partially be inserted in a recess in the implant body (2) and be fixed by a retaining screw (8). In order to secure it against rotation the recess (4) comprises a first bearing surface (22) and the superstructure member (14) comprises an assigned second bearing surface (24). This dental implant is to be developed further in such a way that the superstructure member is secured against rotation relative to the implant body without play and in a durable and functionally reliable manner. It is proposed that the superstructure member (14) have at least one slot (26) extending from its free end (28) to the region of the second bearing surface, and a radially inward narrowing (34). The retaining screw (8) is assigned a pressure surface (36) which can engage with said narrowing (34) during screwing-in of the retaining screw (8) in such a way that it results in radial dilatation of the superstructure member (14) and, at least partially, firm contact of the first and second bearing surfaces (22, 24). <IMAGE>
